Outlook plus pop is ok, that is it use wifi if it is available and 3G otherwise. The problem is on hotmail accessed using windows live.

I found a solution in using HTTPMail provider 1.5 to access hotmail (it is not free but cheap enough). You can find it googling around.

I read reports around about problems during installation so I simply extracted the files (HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll, HTTPTransport.dll and HTTPMailReg.exe) from the cab and copied them under \windows, registered manually HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll and HTTPTransport.dll using regsvr_arm.exe (you can find it at http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80255&d=1207768826) and registered the software using HTTPMailReg.exe

After installation an hotmail account can be created using this procedure.

Open Inbox

Tap Accounts and choose "New Account"

Enter your a fake e-mail address (not hotmail, otherwise windows live kiks in) and tap Next

Skip auto configuration (otherwise windows live kiks in) and tap Next

Set the user name to your complete e-mail address, enter your password, check the "Save password" option and tap Next

Set the Account type to HTTP and tap Next

Depending on which service you are using enter "hotmail" or "msn" (without the quotes) for both the incoming and outgoing server names, leave the domain field blank and tap the "Options" button

Set the connection to "The Internet" and tap Next

Set the maximum amount to fetch for each message or accept the default settings and tap Next

Set the maximum age for the downloaded messages and tap Next

Good luck.

i would be interested in this too.

at home, i have a wifi router and i'd like the phone to use that connection when reachable/available. then, when i'm not at home and there's no other wifi available, without doing any manual setting, it should skip to 3G.

is the device working like that by default? any special settings needed?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oruam57:
I use my phone exactly like that.

For internet browsing and POP email yes, for hotmail no (se above post).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaBountyHunter:
Can you run over this please as I'm not getting the screens in the order you've written them.

1. First screen I get email address so I put in a fake one.

2. Second screen I get "Your Name" field and then "Account Display Name"

3. Third screen I get "Incoming Mail Server" ... what do I put here? You said "hotmail" or "msn" ... but what exactly... pop3.hotmail.com or what?? and other field is account type. I see HTML there so I choose that.

4. Fourth screen is "Username" and "password" I put that as my hotmail username (not fake) and proper password...

5. "Outgoing Mail Server" ... again what to put for this?? Advanced settings on this page ... I've set it to "The Internet"

Left the rest of the other pages as default when I go to hit send and receive I get an error saying:

"The URL does not use a recognized protocol (80042001) Error Source: HTTP Status: Logging On"

hmm??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] eXelero:
sounds great! thanx for the info! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oruam57:
1. Ok.

2. Insert whatever you like.

3. Insert literally "hotmail" or "msn" and select HTTP.

4. Username should be the complete address, for example xxxx@hotmail.com, password ok.

5. Again, insert literally "hotmail" or "msn", advanced setting ok, do not check Outgoing... and Use the same... should be grayed (disabled)

Before that you must register the DLLs (using regsvr_arm.exe) and the software (using HTTPMailReg.exe) and soft reset.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaBountyHunter:
Followed all of that exactly as you said registerd the dlls and the software soft resetted and got a different error 80042002 HTTP Forbidden :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oruam57:
I'm sorry but can't say what the problem is.

Just in case this is my account configuration (after the initial configuration I edited the address on the first page to the correct value, maybe you should try this too).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gadgetgaz:
It sounds to me as though the people with the problem of cellular data connection kicking in when there is a valid wifi connection ought to examine the settings in whatever application is playing up.

e.g. someone mentioned that pocket outlook opens a 3G connection instead of using the wifi connection. In this case go into email settings (windows messaging application, menu/options then choose the email account that is causing the problem) click on "edit account setup" then press "next" 3 times and press on "advanced server settings". Check what is set under "Network connection:" In order to use the currently available connection this must be set to "The Internet" If you have set it to your cellular data connection for instance "orange internet" it will always use that connection and ignore the wifi.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] elmalote:
I can only choose "Internet" under email settings and not my cellular data..? :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gadgetgaz:
The options I have are:

Orange WAP

Orange MMS

Orange Internet

Work

The Internet
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaBountyHunter:
I ended up just putting in my hotmail details manually using POP3 and set it to use the pop3.live.com:995 and smtp.live.com:587 rather than this whole HTTP issue with SSL and authentication for outgoing and inbound mail. "The Internet" for the network connection to use and made sure it leaves messages on server so now it'll sync without removing them off the inbox and uses the wifi first rather than the 3G.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Smackhacker:
I have Telenor/Vodaphone in Sweden and am having similar difficulties. It works well to use "The Internet" if I am on a wireless network. However, if I am without wireless I get connection error and have to switch network to "Telenor Internet" for it to work. Can anyone help out?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] skinnny:
I'm currently trying to resolve this same issue on my girlfriend's MWg Zinc II running WM6.1.

The strange thing is, I have a Samsung Omnia, also running 6.1, with (as far as I can tell) the exact same setup for email and connections, but I don't have this issue.... ie when I'm connected to wifi and I sync my hotmail, it uses the wifi connection and does not try to connect using cellular data.

On both phones, when I "choose the email account", the next screen to appear is the Windows Live settings screen (where you cannot select the options you mention), not the standard email settings screens... so this method does not work for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] matech:
I've had the same problem on my new Touch Pro 2 on T-Mobile, but didn't have it with my Vodafone v1615 (HTC TyTN II).

I have had this problem with windows live for over 4 years, all other applications will use wifi over 3G if its available.

Windows live will only use 3G, which is an absolute nightmare when traveling as i dissable data and make use with WIFI in hotels and cafes.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nuke1:
If you've played Tony Hawks 2 and Xtrakt, the graphics don't get a lot better imo. Unless there are the mysterious missing drivers. Though I'm not sure if OGLes has suffered from the lack of drivers and the above two games make calls to OGLes...sooo, anyway, I would wait for a Snapdragon HTC, or Tegra HTC phone.

[G1 Android Development] mark925:
I feel really stupid for asking this since I've gone through and done the method for moving apps to sd about a dozen times before with great success but now that I had to get another G1 from T-Mobile for some reason I'm having an issue with the app-private directory.

I've gone through and followed the instructions to a "T":

busybox cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd/app-private

rm -r /data/app-private

ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private

Everything looks like it takes fine, then I reboot the phone and any apps/games that install to that directory won't download at all (Doggcatcher, PacMan, aFile, etc...). I have no issue with anything that goes into the app directory -- that stuff works fine.

Anyone have any clue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] atit.sh:
Hi,

My Tilt has developed a very peculiar problem since last week. It cannot display the color red properly in some Jpegs and it ghosts. Also it doesnt display black text on a grey background. It distorts a little. Even if you rotate the screen the red areas dont show correctly (which i think means the pixels on the screen are fine)... I think its a software problem..thought I am not sure if I should hard reset or not. Anyone have any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] Plummet:
Hi

I've written a number of 'standard' Android applications (using Eclipse) and I've rooted my G1, but I don't know where to start with writing an application that uses root access.

Is it simply a case of sending shell commands to the localhost shell from within my app, or can I (somehow) request root access from Java and call lots of fun 'hidden' APIs directly?

Are there any source code examples of a simple root application? I Google'd extensively but couldn't find one

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] zer0day:
You can execute shell commands using something like this:

final Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
runtime.exec("su"); //or whatever command.
}

catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Once you execute su, you should be able to run other commands. I've not tried it myself, but you get the general idea. If you have superuser whitelist installed, it should prompt you to allow the app to access root.
[G1 Android Development] Plummet:
Got it - thanks!

Now I just have to think of something fun to do with it!
[G1 Android Development] rajendran.bits:
hi...

now when I say that one. I am not able to get the root access. what is the reason...
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Is the phone you are testing on rooted? You need a properly rooted image (Nandroid) to use this in the emulator as well.
[G1 Android Development] mlevin:
Having root will let your app call shell commands to do things root could do. As far as hidden APIs, it's not going to give you any special capabilities there. If there are any hidden APIs, probably only Google knows about them ;)
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
There is already a root app

www.androidactivity.com/root/root.apk
[G1 Android Development] DirectMatrix:
I pretty sure the OP is just saying that they want to write applications that can use root access, not an application for root access.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
That's absurd. Android is open source. There can be no truly hidden APIs. There can be things left out of the SDK, in which case you can assume the feature to be "in flux" and not reliable across versions, but nothing can be hidden from the source code.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I have to agree with this.
[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
Well, in Hero and other closed-source versions of Android like the oPhone firmware, there COULD be some closed API's...
[G1 Android Development] koxx:
Still no solution to gain root from java code ?

I tried "su", but it doesn't works (I have a rooted phone).

I'd like to read gmail messages database for a new widget ... impossible without root.

I can get access to database if I change rights for the db file.
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
You should contact with one of the authors of a root app.

Search for "root" in the market.
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
You could do something like that:

public static boolean runRootCommand(String command) {
Process process = null;
DataOutputStream os = null;
try {
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes(command+"\n");
os.writeBytes("exit\n");
os.flush();
process.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("*** DEBUG ***", "Unexpected error - Here is what I know: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
finally {
try {
if (os != null) {
os.close();
}
process.destroy();
} catch (Exception e) {
// nothing
}
}
return true;
}

Or in your case (change the owner of a file) ... less code:

public static boolean runChmod777(String myfile) {
Process process = null;
try {
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su -c chmod 0777 myfile");
process.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("*** DEBUG ***", "Unexpected error - Here is what I know: "+e.getMessage());
return false;
}
finally {
try {
process.destroy();
} catch (Exception e) {
// nothing
}
}
return true;
}

EDIT: Ah ... This shows a "chmod" ...
[G1 Android Development] koxx:
Thank you very much for this code.

I don't think I'll be able to use the "chmod" method. Gmail change permissions each time he check for mails :/

But I may at least copy the database somewhere and work on a copy.

Another idea to open this protecteed database ?
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
Mmmmh ... just a thought. How about reading the calendar-entries by using the Google Calendar API?

Not sure if that works ... but this way you don't need root.

[G1 Android Development] koxx:
I'am talking about GMAIL databases reading ... hehehe

Close sources, no API, more complicated ;)

For calendar, everything is fine, my widget works fine without rooting.
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
this is interesting have no idea what im talking about but can u set up a gmail pop/imap whatever account to the widget
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
How about writing a root app that picks up sms/mms/voicemail intents and activates the LEDs for Hero roms? That would be a huge one here for people using Hero. You could basically write it to act as a service as it'd be pointless to have a gui for it.

I want to read the wifi keys to save them without using titanium backup:

//Read text from file

String line;

while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {

text.append(line);

text.append('\n');

}

But the Log says that: FILE NOT FOUND :java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf (Permission denied)

The i tried to put:

try {

runtime.exec("su"); //or whatever command.

}

catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

first and i granted superuser right to my app with this part, but the same error appears... how can i read files from root directory??

So there would be no need for x1i /x1a seperate devices in future, those of you in NA should be able to purchase (en shore) the same device that the rest of us use..
[XPERIA X1 General] bilalsheikh:
Looking at the results of the xda-developers pool I decided to get an XPeria as it clearly out shined all other phones. I got X1i this Saturday and was shocked about the poor signal strength. I was so looking forward to using this phone and keeping it but was more inclined in sending it back. Now after a couple of days just browsing the developers site which I am used to as I had an artemis before this. I see this was not the last of the problems. There have been mentions of overheating and GPS lag as well as the WIFI being rubbish. I have found the following problems

1.	Signals fluctuating and mostly no service when in hand even in some good reception areas. Normally on H when in the carry case but switches to G as soon as held in hand.

2.	GPS is frustrating. My artemis used to lock within seconds while having an upto date ephermis file. But even with AGPS and recently downloaded ephermis file, I had to wait over a minute to move off. It locked and then it lost and then it locked again(This was when it was in my hand). Once locked it was stable. It was on Google maps by the way.

Right for these, I have found a temporary solution and we have to work on it to make it a standard solution for all X1. Apparently the signals definitely fluctuate when you touch the lower metallic part on the back which has SE logo on it . The opinion on the forums here is that it may block the signal. I think otherwise as I have covered that area without touching the panel with my hand and there has been no signal drop but as soon as you have the slightest bit of flesh on that area the signal drops at least two bars. This led me to believe that there is an electric conduction or possibly u earth the antennas as they seem to be touching that panel from inside as it has been pointed out before.

So simple test was to put a cling film on that part and then test so I did and walah!! There was no signal drop and it worked flawlessly. I think it’s the same problem with GPS as well.

Now I couldn’t carry on using my phone half mummified. I had to take the cling film off. This is possibly the solution to everyone’s problem but I need someone to suggest either a plastic cover for that area or some sort of coating which does not conduct electricity. I think that will definitely sort the problem.:cool:
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I think you've got a faulty X1 there mate..

Can you take it back to a store and compare it against another one?

The signal is weak on this compared to some other devices, (it's not as bad as the vario though), however I've never noticed a drop in signal by holding it, so I suspect somethings awry with the one you've got..

GPS signal is very very good with the later radios, what version have you got?

I get a lock within 2 seconds (8 seconds from hard reset or flashed a new rom), and it's very very accurate when it does lock.
[XPERIA X1 General] Darth Sith:
My GPS works very well (better than htc cruise) also with previous radio.

So I think you have a fault X1, like say by fards.
[XPERIA X1 General] crabby09:
I'm with Fards on this, I don't get issues when holding the phone and GPS is snappy.

crabby
[XPERIA X1 General] bilalsheikh:
Thanks guys. I know it has been discussed a million times before but I have compared the phone with other XPerias and it is the same. There are atleast 4 threads pointing out the same. My X1 would have better signals than my artemis as long as i dont touch the back base. Have you all got silver X1is? If so then can you check if you touch the back panel which i mentioned, if there is any fluctuation in the signals(its not instant it takes about 10 seconds for the phone to show the loss of signals).

I have updated radio to 55 and tried the two new stock roms which are R2A for O2 and 010 generic. The phone still looses signals but not completely when i touch the back panel.

About GPS, it does get a lock very quickly but looses it for a short while when i touch the back.

Anyway if someone else comes accross the same problem then please write here as I am sure there is a solution to be found. I was looking at the following

Clear coating

Antistatic spray coating
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I must have missed those threads then.

I have a black x1, and definitely don't get any of those issues.

gps is steady and strong.. monitoring it now... as I type. 6 birds locked standing next to window in house hdop 0.6m which I think is very very good

gsm signal on 2 bars and steady
[XPERIA X1 General] pelroig:
I had the same issue just once. And even when X1 was in the Brodit car holder.

In my case the soft reset was sufficient to solve the problem. But I guess that you already did that.

[XPERIA X1 General] exabart:
Same here, touch back panel, hold for 10 secs and signal drops 1 bar. Currently on 3G network, going from 2 bars to 1.

(And yes, my W810i gets a way better signal in low coverage areas. However, usually not a problem, since I hardly encounter Vodafone low coverage areas in The Netherlands).

Tested 5 times. Dutch Vodafone X1i, R2 stock ROM & stock radio.
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
Ok I did the touch the panel thing and my bars increased by one... hmmm perhaps there is another faulty batch out there as I get great signal (touch wood) and my gps is very responsive and accurate...
[XPERIA X1 General] tumpin:
Silver X1 here.. Been touching it up for about 15 mins now ;)

It does seem to drop by 1 bar when touched, but also drops if i just put my hand really close to the back without actually touching. hmm..

what concerns me more is how it just drops the whole line randomly and gives an x then has to search again. Lost a good few calls from that..
[XPERIA X1 General] jahd5000:
well here ive got no problem at all with signal.

But GPS does suck even though most people everywhere say X1 GPS is awesome.maybe it is just my zone/country.. could that be possible?
